Rump roast is slowly simmered until tender and topped with onions in this tasty version of slow cooker French dip sandwiches.

Saturday was one of those days that required pajama pants. It was gloomy. It was rainy. All I wanted to do was curl up on the couch with a blanket, a Harry Potter marathon, and a mug of hot tea. I certainly didn’t want to get up off my lazy behind and make dinner.

I was thankful I had these slow cooker French dip sandwiches planned for dinner that night. Just throw everything in the crockpot. A few hours later the house smelled wonderful and it was time to eat. I served these with toasty warm French bread loaves and a small bowl of aus jus for dipping.

The Woman Under the Veil

I'm Lisa, a first generation Southerner. While I was born and raised in Mississippi, I wasn't raised on Southern food. Then I met and fell in love with a boy who grew up eating his Grandmama's fried chicken and his Mamaw's biscuits and gravy. I realized I had a thing or two to learn about Southern cooking.
